NEWS: Using Hubble, astronomers studied the four largest moons of Uranus: Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, and Oberon. The surfaces of these icy satellites defied the researchers’ expectations: bit.ly/4ktQS3V #AAS246 🔭 🧪

AB and SK only want federal resources to burn more fossil fuels, not cheap child care or wildfire support or safe supply pilots or public housing dollars or really anything that would materially improve people’s lives.

The Danielle Smith Legislative Ledger – Part Four: The Playbook It’s not just the what — it’s the how. Omnibus bills. Regulation over legislation. Speed over scrutiny. This is how a government reshapes a province before most people even notice. An #ableg 🧵for you.

Quote: "...said the rules for wind and solar are fundamentally different than the "generous and flexible" ones for oil and gas." The difference is a strategic intent by the Premier's office to economically sabotage the renewable energy industry in Alberta. It's working. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

If you think Canada is increasing its military spending to 2% of GDP this year to defend itself from the U.S., you are a mark of the highest order

I’m just saying, when people need to fight for their freedom against oppression, actually fighting is part of it. It’s what “fight” means.

🧵 SCOOP Governments are well aware that inhalation is the main mode of drug consumption in the age of fentanyl, outpacing injection nowadays 4-5X by some measures. So when people kept saying they can't access clean glass pipes in Alberta, I had to dig into it. 1/ drugdatadecoded.ca/recovery-alb...

The maze gates at this Research PL NW in Calgary have been unsuccessfully slowing people down since 1995. 😂 #GoAround #naturalpath #yycbike

So Israel took hostages after attacking a ship that had humanitarian aid. ....hmm 🤔

Amen.

For generations, Indigenous peoples have gathered on this land to build community and culture. But Danielle Smith’s separatist rhetoric undermines the true meaning of Indigenous treaties, putting Alberta's future at risk. It doesn't need to be that way. We can and must do better. #VoteforBetter

Survived the weekend.. somehow.. AHS Report will be back later this evening.. ER closures, OB & OR Diversions.. measles updates and more! Missed anything? Make sure to check out @frazzleheadlc.bsky.social and my Substack page for all our reports! Be safe, be kind & watch out for one another!

We need leaders who will acknowledge the reality and ensure people know what steps we need to take.

Canada Post wants to create a new class of flexible, part-time worker that will better compete with Amazon and implement “dynamic routing” so delivery routes can be changed on the fly. It’s a good example of how Amazon degrades workers’ rights even beyond its walls. Workers are right to push back.

The Danielle Smith Legislative Ledger – Part Three: The Sleeper Bills The wrecking ball keeps swinging. Danielle Smith didn’t just pass a lot of legislation — she passed some of the most quietly dangerous bills you’ve never heard of. This is Part Three. An #ableg 🧵.

Carney limits G7 guests to one assassination each

The new conservative PM of Canada is sure pushing things ahead full steam. This is actually a veiled threat that they will be criminalizing Indigenous opposition to resource projects soon. Libs gonna Lib.

The Danielle Smith Legislative Ledger – Part Two: The Wrecking Ball Keeps Swinging The bills that didn’t make headlines. The ones that rewired Alberta quietly, methodically, and permanently. This isn’t noise. It’s memory. It’s fuel. #ableg 🧵

The final days of the Alberta Legislature’s Spring 2025 session pissed me off. I rolled up my sleeves right after and started a research project. I present to you all an #ableg 🧵: Danielle Smith’s Legislative Wrecking Ball: Part One

How Canadian, it's now a ZEDbra!

".......but the NDP can't form government!"

Carney can't stand with Palestinians today. Maybe later; they'll make a decision.

Been thinking about this in Canadian context. Many powerful people continue openly supporting Canadian-backed genocide, while others dismantle life-saving harm-reduction measures as they pocket the blood money. Shaming these people after a public inquiry in 2045 does nothing. They count on that.

Meet White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt! She loves crosses, she loves the President, and she loves the truth, which is whatever the hell she says it is. youtu.be/QTMrIaDVE6I?...

With Bill C-2, the Canadian government threatens to chip away at that right, making it harder for people seeking safety and freedom to file an asylum claim and have it assessed fairly. amnesty.ca/human-rights...

Murray Edwards could give those businesses some of the money he saved by taxpayers funding his arena. City could have helped them, but Coun. Wong and the others said Edwards didn't have to risk too much.
